This would work on Qt4 as well, but of course it's not ideal as you need 
a timer to poll the queue. It's much easier to use QThreads and simply 
post the events (or use the asynchronous signals).

Plus, you can now do non-trivial things from the secondary threads (eg: 
painting with QPainter over a QImage) so it's worth sitting down and 
analyzing all these possibilities before desiging the code with Qt4.
